Whether you're planning your wedding or looking for a group to play at a corporate event, let the Zāki Duo delight your guests with spirited and flashy performances of incredible music, all stylishly adapted for violin and guitar
The Zāki Duo stand out through their versatility. Equally at ease playing background music as they are performing in a concert for an attentive audience, they can change their repertoire to match the occasion
Their performances in and around Sydney have seen them play in all sorts of special events from retail product launches, to a James Bond themed house party, to sit down home concerts of "serious music", to their regular appearances at wedding ceremonies/canapés and corporate events where they like to mix and match to the energy of the crowd
Variety is the spice of life... and so it is true with music too
Isabel and Ariel met during their studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. In forming the Zāki Duo, they wanted to share their love of music from different places and cultures, inspired by many trips abroad. The idea was to bring to the "events space" something a bit different to your standard band or string group
They are a melting-pot of styles: jazz, classical, contemporary pop, folk music, pieces from Spain, Brazil, Iran and more ... all under the one roof. With fun and familiar pop songs, cool world music from all corners of the Globe and timeless, heart rending classical pieces, there's never a dull moment in their performances
Tailored to your taste
Let us know the vibe you're after. Whether you want upbeat hits, a jazzy set or something subdued and sophisticated, we've got it covered! We can also arrange any special requests you have for violin and guitar to add a personal touch to your event
